Heat Recovery Ventilation

Ventilation

The air inside your home is often stagnant and stale. This can cause a variety of problems, including mold growth and increased energy bills. A heat recovery ventilator (HRV) is the perfect solution to these problems. It uses the power of nature to improve indoor air quality while saving you money on heating and cooling costs.

An HRV is an automatic system that draws fresh outside air into your home through one set of vents. Simultaneously, it sends warm or cool air from inside through another set of vents that lead to the outdoors. As a result, you get all the benefits associated with bringing in fresh outdoor air without any negative side effects.

Whole-House Heat Recovery Ventilators

Indoor air has been shown to be more polluted than outdoor air. That being said, the average American spends 90% of their time inside. Ventilation systems can significantly improve your home’s indoor environment by removing allergens and other air pollutants that negatively affect your health.

By ventilating your home with a mechanical system, you control where the air comes into the house. This is important because some of it may come from areas such as attics or crawl spaces which are not desirable for any kind of ventilation whatsoever! In addition to providing fresh airflow along with appropriate locations for intake and exhaust points (in other words: proper bottom-to-top flow), these kinds of devices also have features like adjustable schedules so that they work when needed without wasting energy.

Do you have a home that’s always too hot or too cold?

Heat Recovery Ventilators for Your Home

How Residential Heat Recovery Ventilation Units (HRVs) Can Refresh Your Living Space

Whether you’re preparing a delicious meal or taking a relaxing shower after a long day, you’re unknowingly releasing moisture into your home. Moisture in your living space can come from a wide variety of sources including:

Ovens
Showers
Dishwashers
Washing machines

While small amounts of moisture aren’t cause for concern, excessive water in your home can lead to structural damage or deterioration over time. Fortunately, heat recovery ventilation systems help you keep your home in top condition. The goal of an HRV unit is to:

Keep your living space free of excess moisture that could lead to damage
Make the air in your home fresh, dry and breathable
Remove potential allergens from your living environment

The filters included in HRVs are designed to block dust, pollen and other common allergens. So, if you’re looking for a reliable ventilation system that reduces humidity and keeps allergens at bay, a heat recovery ventilation system takes care of all of this effortlessly.

How an HRV Unit Works

When you install an HRV inside your living space, it goes through an complex process to keep the air in your home fresh and cool. The main purpose of this unit is to remove the stale air from your living space and draw in the fresh air from outside at the same time.

The result is constantly renewed air that helps you feel as comfortable as possible in your home.

To ensure that the air in your home is continuously refreshed, an HRV system undergoes a heat transfer. A heat transfer occurs when the stale air inside your home makes contact with the fresh air outdoors. The old air is then discarded outside your home while the clean, fresh air fills your space and invigorates you.

Reduce Home Repairs

Prolonged exposure to moisture can adversely affect the structural integrity of your home and excessive condensation can cause mold growth, structural decay and/or degraded insulation.

A properly ventilated home will have a much easier time staying cool and comfortable, which is good news for your air conditioner. Finding the balance between interior living spaces with ventilation while also making sure you’re not pricing yourself out on electricity bills has never been so important!

One of the most notable features of a heat recovery ventilation system is the fact that it accomplishes its goal without wasting energy.

The process of replacing the stuffy air in your home with fresh, clean air is a completely natural process that requires no energy. At the same time, the stale air and fresh air never intermingle. This helps to ensure that you’re only breathing clean air in your living space.
